Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The financial risks related to climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy are systemic and affect financial institutions’ balance sheets. Accordingly, financial institutions have to ascertain these risks and their own exposure to them.

The collective challenges associated with green transition and sustainable development clearly emerge. New efforts are required for an in-depth understanding of the multiple subjective approaches existing with reference to sustainability, green transition, and financial stability in order to align them under a sharable interpretative framework.

In summary, we are looking for contributions on the relationship between banking and environmental topics, as well as on the impact adopting sustainable business practices has on financial system stability.

This article presents an innovative methodology for enhancing statistical databases as reliable sources of information. The study leverages data from “Big Data of the Modern Global Economy: A Digital Platform for Data Mining—2020”, which serves as a digital tool designed to predict economic development at both global and national levels, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 crisis and its aftermath. Utilizing a dataset focused on the G7 and BRICS nations as a case study, we assemble forecasts for several key indicators: the Digital Competitiveness Index, Global Innovation Index, Human Development Index, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Economic Growth Rate, GDP per Capita, Quality of Life Index, Happiness Index, and Sustainable Development Index for 2021. Additionally, we conducted a plan-fact analysis. The accuracy of the post-pandemic economic recovery forecast is validated through comparison with actual data. Furthermore, this research provides statistical analyses and forecasts to minimize uncertainty during crises, considering the interconnected nature of climate change and financial factors inherent in these crises.

This paper examines the regional dimension of monetary policy transmission through the component of the bank lending channel in Indonesia. Understanding the effectiveness of this transmission channel at a regional level is crucial, given the diverse economic characteristics across Indonesian provinces. We employ panel regression to analyze the panel data consisting of provincial quarterly data from 2010–2023 for 33 provinces in Indonesia. The robustness of the results is further assessed through GMM estimation techniques. We find evidence of the bank lending channel through the use of the policy rate. Our findings are meaningful in the SME and consumer lending channel and are also more profound in Java than in the non-Java region. Further, using GMM estimation, we show that our results are robust. Our study highlights the significant role of regional differences in Indonesia when examining monetary policy effectiveness. Policymakers should therefore consider regional disparities and lending categories to enhance the efficacy of monetary policy interventions. Full article
